ANIMAL PRESENCES
The James Hillman Uniform Edition Vol. 9

SUBJECT: Archetypal Psychology


A fascinating testament to Hillman's decades-long interest in animal images in dreams and the psychic imagination, this volume includes the major Eranos lecture "The Animal Kingdom in the Human Dream," and Hillman's contributions to the out-of-print "bestiary" Dream Animals (with Margot McLean), as well as the essays "Going Bugs"; "Nature in the Doghouse"; "The Elephant in the Garden of Eden"; "Imagination is Bull"; and shorter interviews and penetrating conversations on the animal theme.

Quote:

"Hillman encourages us not to turn our animal visitors into "dream symbols" because in so doing we lose the animal. Instead, he proposes, we should recognize it as real, as choosing to come to us from the great unconscious. He suggests that we honor the animal for being present by asking it why it appeared in the dream.  "What is the animal offering you by coming into your life in the dream?" He asks whether animals may be trying to communicate with us in order to stop their exploitation and extinction.  Hillman feels that exploration of our psychic and dream animal presences can help reestablish our severed kinship with the natural world. "
